Superglue in carbs

[Hanne]

I am actually not kidding!

took my bike in to the bike shop to have a look at carbs, they cleaned out all the crap which was all good, but then discovered a slight problem....

Not sure if it was the gaskets or what, but someone in the past deicded that superglue was the answer to sticking everything back together. :gob:

My poor baby! I will have to clean her extra well when she comes home so she knows that at least I love her....

[Wasp]

damn that sucks!

best of luck

Superglue. Amateurs. Far too brittle.

You need a decent epoxy glue to fix up the plastic bits inside the modern carb.

Ask F5 Dave. He'll put you right on this. :yes:

Superglue is sweet for shortening o-rings though :)

try meths to get the crap out and a baceball bat for whoever put it in there

[kneescraper]

Hahaha, thats pretty shocking. Wouldnt the parts that had the glue on them be stuffed...doesnt superglue make plastic go all warped etc?

[Squiggles]

seems it was used instead of a gasket... not very smart seeing as petrol dissolves it (thus they leaked) gaskets were ordered in a couple of weeks ago from japan, must ring the bike shop tomorrow to see if they're done with it :yes:
